Bomb blows up bus carrying Israeli tourists in Bulgaria airport; Israel blames Iran

An explosion rocked a bus carrying Israeli tourists at an airport in Bulgaria, killing at least four people. NBCNews.com's Dara Brown reports.

 

Updated at 6:04 p.m. ET: SOFIA, Bulgaria -- An explosion on a bus carrying Israeli tourists at an airport in Burgas killed at least six people and injured 32 others, Bulgarian authorities said. Bulgarian officials could not confirm the deadly blast was terror-related but Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu blamed Iran.

"Iran is responsible for the terror attack in Bulgaria, we will have a strong response against Iranian terror," said Netanyahu in a statement, according to Haaretz, an Israeli newspaper.


Tehran did not immediately issue a comment.

A bomb caused the explosion, Bulgarian Foreign Minister Nikolai Mladenov told Reuters.

The Israelis had landed at the airport around 4:45 p.m. local time (9:45 a.m. ET) and boarded a bus to their hotel when the explosion happened, The Jerusalem Post reported. Body parts were flung onto the tarmac and a thick black plume of smoke rose above the airport.

An 11-year-old Israeli girl and two pregnant women were among those injured, according to Focus, a Bulgarian news agency.

Smoke rises over the Burgas airport in Bulgaria, after an explosion on Wednesday.

"I do not know what it was, but it was a very powerful blast, and I think it was something placed on purpose in the bus, which carried 47 Israeli tourists," Burgas mayor Dimitar Nikolov told BTV television. Burgas is 250 miles from Sofia, Bulgaria's capital.

Nikolov said 171 people had arrived on a plane from Israel to spend their holiday at the Black Sea coast. One American and one Slovenian passenger were on board, he said.

The Bulgarian Press Office, which provided the casualty figures, said only one bus was involved in the explosion, but added the investigation is ongoing. 

According to a Bulgarian news service, an eyewitness named Daniel told the Voice of Israel radio program: “I was literally watching people crawling out of the bus. They were screaming and one of them had no arms or legs. It was horrible.”

Another Israeli traveler told the radio station: “The people who survived got through the windows and were trying to crawl over the bodies. The bus was destroyed from both sides.”

In separate statements, President Barack Obama, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon condemned the attack.

An explosion damaged a bus carrying Israeli tourists at Burgas Airport in Bulgaria on Wednesday.

"As Israel has tragically once more been a target of terrorism, the United States reaffirms our unshakeable commitment to Israel's security, and our deep friendship and solidarity with the Israeli people," Obama said. He called Netanyahu on Wednesday to express his condolences.

Clinton said the U.S. is prepared to offer "any assistance necessary" and that she was prepared to "work with our partners in Bulgaria, Israel and elsewhere so that the perpetrators can be apprehended swiftly and brought to justice for this appalling crime."

Wednesday's bombing coincided with the 18th anniversary of the bombing of a Jewish community center in Argentina that killed 85 people. According to the BBC, Argentinian prosecutors charged Iran with orchestrating the attack, which they believe was carried out by Hezbollah, the Lebanon-based militia. 

Netanyahu said Israel would respond.

"All the signs lead to Iran. Only in the past few months we have seen Iranian attempts to attack Israelis in Thailand, India, Georgia, Kenya, Cyprus and other places," Netanyahu said in a statement. "This is an Iranian terror attack that is spreading throughout the entire world. Israel will react powerfully against Iranian terror."

But Jerusalem Post writer Yaakov Katz questioned the connection between the two events.  

"While the attack is severe, it is not of the scale of what happened in 1994," Katz wrote. In 1994 in Argentina, a van filled with explosives rammed into the Jewish community center, killing 84 people. Wednesday's attack, he said, appeared to have been perpetrated by a suicide bomber or a planted bomb. 

"This is a break from Hezbollah's traditional tactic of carrying out attacks with less of a footprint," Katz wrote. "In previous plots that were thwarted recently, there were attempts to shoot down Israeli airliners with shoulder-to-air missiles, to plant bombs on diplomatic cars or to assassinate Israeli diplomats. Nothing that would leave evidence behind."

Israeli officials had previously said that Bulgaria, a popular holiday destination for young Israeli tourists, was vulnerable to attack by Islamist militants who could infiltrate via nearby Turkey.

Israeli diplomats have been targeted in several countries in recent months by bombers who Israel said struck on behalf of Iran.

Though Tehran has denied involvement, some analysts believe it is trying to avenge the assassinations of several scientists from its controversial nuclear program, which the Iranians have blamed on Israel and its Western allies.

Israel has threatened air strikes against Iran's nuclear facilities if diplomatic efforts fail to stop Tehran getting nuclear weapons, which it denies it is seeking.

The Israel Airports Authority announced disruptions in flights from Israel and Europe, according to Haaretz.

NBC's Lawahez Jabari in Jerusalem, Reuters and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

They were teenagers going on a group holiday and were targeted. The bus driver let an unknown get on the bus and then it exploded. Who would do something like this? I think we all know the answer.

Thanks Max,

Netanyoohoo has been trying to start a war with Iran for a long time.

It doesn't matter that Israel has been assassinating nuclear engineers and professors for the last 8 years.

It doesn't matter that Israel and the US have been infecting all of Iran's industrial control computers with viruses for the last 4 years.

Why don't the Israeli's just do it themselves. They want a war _— GO AHEAD DO IT!! YOURSELVES!!

Let's see how did WW1 start? This is very similar. No surprise though. Israel has been looking for any reason they can to go to war with Iran, err get the US to go to war with Iran.

I'm not 100% against Israel but I'm also tired of the we are always the victim card. They have done more than there fair share of bad things to the Palestinians and others. Don't get me wrong either, I'm tired of all the Muslim terrorists as well.

Its just that I'm tired of the US seemingly always bending to what the Isrealies want and never questioning them and what they do or making them give some concessions.

It is time to let them stand on their own two feet and its time for them to also answer for some of the evil things they have done. Not saying they don't have the right to defend their-selves and not everything they have done was without reason but they certainly are not innocent.

To me I think we need to go back a look at how Isreal was orginally supposed to be setup and get back to those plans, seems to me that would go along ways to help the situation out.

At any rate I hope this isn't the start of something bigger; 2012, Mayans-whatever-or not, we seem to be doing everything we can to at least make it self full filling prophecy, geez.

RIP to those who lost their lives and best of luck to those who where injured. Get well soon.

Bobby - point was not the standing or occupation of the person(s) but that there was an attack that someone got killed, in a country of small standing and those killed weren't really politically important on the world stage, in what one could argue was terrorist type attack in both cases. That more or less minor event lead to the start of a world war. Something that could, not will but could, happen again with this.

Excuse me for not spelling it out since you couldn't see the similarity I was refering to. Never said is was point for point exactly the same, I said similar for a reason.

There is a huge difference between killing royalty and an heir to a throne in the early 1900's and the bombing of tourist today. Which happens all the time in today's world.

Israel would have no problem standing on their own. If you are looking for comparisons for world wars. Look more towards WWII. If a war breaks out between Iran and Israel. Iran would attack American interests around Europe and the Middle East. That is what would pull the U.S. into what could be WWIII.

I would look for things to escalate during or towards the end of the Olympics, when the majority of people are distracted by the games.

You are correct in what you say, but again not my point; king, queen, arch duke, peasant. You have countries on edge in a tense situation and all it takes is one small event to set them off. That is what I mean. Killing that archduke and draging all of Europe and then others into a world war that killed one man and resulted in over 15million + getting killed and forever changing the face of Europe. As far as Israel is concerned they could easy make this into the "killing of royalty" and the excuse they need to start a conflict that could escalate into something greater.

Your parallels to WW2 are reasonable but I'm afraid it won't be quite like that but rather Israel goes and we just follow in suit rather than have someone else attack us and drag us in.

    Early reports said the attack was similar to bombings last February in India and Georgia - and planned in Bangkok before careless bombers blew up their home and themselves on Valentine's Day.

    In those attacks, Iranians trailed cars with Israeli passengers on motorcycles, and attached bombs with magnets before speeding away. Similar attacks were reportedly planned in Bangkok before three Iranians blew themselves up instead.

    The blast came on the anniversary of an attack on a Jewish community centre in Buenos Aires in 1994 that killed 85 people and wounded 300. The attack was blamed on Iran, which denied the charge.

    The zionists will be the death of Judaism, both the Khazari pseudojews (~80%) and the Sephardim (~20%). Most of the deaths attributed to the Nazis in the concentration camps might have been avoided had the zionists 1) not betrayed Germany to Britain in 1916 (Balfour Declaration), 2) not been largely responsible for the ruinous rape by reparations in the decade following WWI, 3) not collaborated with the Nazis in the 1930s, for example aiding in breaking the worldwide boycott of German goods, or stealing the money of their own people and funneling it to Palestine or... , 4) refusing to provide available monies when the Germans offered to ransom Jews, et cetera, et cetera. There are two simple ways to understand the zionists. Google the famous zionist quotation: "One cow in Palestine is worth all of the Jews in Poland" and Google the word "sayanim" and know they are in every country, including Bulgaria, ready to do what they are told by the likes of that scum nut-and-yahoo. So far the score for us is zionists 2, America -2: USS Liberty, WTC. We can throw in JFK and RFK as well. Iran is hardly the only country that contains people who detest the zionists. Even in israel...

    Jewish Americans are even more propagandized than the goyim and will have the same fate as Jewish Germans had at the hands of these monsters. AshkeNazis. Read history and you won't be doomed...

    The only kids who get toy guns as toddlers in THIS world are American kids. Palestinian kids get nothing because they can't even get food and medicines through the israeli concentration camp barriers. Palestinians only shoot their homemade bottle rockets at israel after israel again and again reneges on promises to allow medical supplies and foodstuffs into Palestine. You watch your children die from treatable illnesses and see how you feel. zionists are the most psychopathic people on this planet AND EVERYBODY BUT JEWS AND AMERICANS KNOW IT. And it's a good bet that many of the suicide vests used in the Mideast are provided by israeli agents just like the fbi provided the truck bomb in Portland, Oregon to force the Portland city government into joining the DHS JTTF.

    And FedupwithFed

    If you're fed up with the fed, you're fed up with the zionists. They are the same people. Read "Secrets of the Federal Reserve" by Eustace Mullin and pay especial attention to the name Warburg because it is intimately connected to the Balfour disgrace and the entirely corrupt Woodrow Wilson who was blackmailed by the zionists. Remember, in 1916, America was pacifist, and in early 1917 after a few month media blitz was hearing and believing how "The Hun" was eating babies... You can get the truth on this from the horse's mouth on YouTube. Benjamin Freedman was there, is the son of NYC Jewish bankers, and was one very disgusted American.

    This whole things stinks! Based on everything I seen so far regarding the "attack", this appears to be more like a set-up. If Iran did it, they would have quickly claimed responsibility. Think about it. They're too damned prideful. Israel has been trying to get us envolved with this for quite some time now. Nah, This stinks of Mossad...

    Usualy they blame the Palistinians, why Iran now?

    Maybe because of this: (not used in it's entirety, but the link is below to read the whole article)

    State-owned media outlets, in a coordinated effort, all ran a similar story Friday highlighting Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's message on the coming of the last Islamic messiah.

    Until now, the Iranian media would mostly quote clerics from seminaries on the issue of the last Islamic messiah to avoid the regime being labeled messianic. However, the wide publication of Khamenei's statements on a need to prepare for the end of times as it confronts the West over its illicit nuclear program is alarming to Western leaders.

    The Revolutionary Guards' media outlet, Mashregh, on Sunday warned Israel and America that they will have to guess as to what type of warhead the Iranian missiles will be carrying when targeting them.

    In its lengthy piece, Mashregh discussed Iranian missile capability and the devastation it can wreak on potential enemies. Referring to U.S. military bases in the region, it said that in recent war games, ballistic missiles with cluster warheads destroyed targets similar to air bases and fighter craft hiding under hangers.

    The piece boasts that the two-stage solid-fuel Sejil missile can pierce through Israel's missile defense system and has had "the Zionists losing sleep."

    In other words, they're openly threatening both the US and Israel with nuclear attacks. I don't know about you, but I'd say Iran is provoking us, even daring us, to take action.

    I think the best approach is to investigate and find out who really is behind this tragedy. Until then all we can do is speculate. (but I feel like Iran certainly is capable of lying about it, too.)

    Wrong, this was a rather small false flag type operation carried out by Mossad or the CIA or pissed off Bulgarian muslims. Iran will not do anything to stoke the flames of a war they can't win. Their military is a joke with the bulk of it based on Nixon/Ford/Carter aircraft and tanks. They have about 100 tanks that are equivalent to our old M-60 main battle tank that was eventually phased out by the marines after Desert Storm and was phased out by the US Army in Regan's first term. Their homemade submarines are coastal defense subs the size of German WWI U boats. One of our Seawolfs could blow their entire fleet away probably. Iran has the second lowest per capita defense spending in the entire region, even the UAE spends more on defense. Is that a sign of a nation hellbent on regional domination? Fact, Iraq, Libya, Syria, and Iran all are against the use of the petrodollar as the world's reserve currency, and all of them save maybe Syrai had/have actively done something to actually bring that all to an end. Oops, all these natioins have been conveniently taken out or will be taken out by Uncle Sam for some BS cover story about spreading democracy or some lies about weapons programs. Fox News and the fearmongering Newsmax.com tried to say that Iran had the bomb almost 10 years ago, and it was 5 years ago, when Iran revealed they were up to 20% enrichment. 5 years later, still at 20% enrichment, but they are still only weeks or months away from the bomb they say. The next war will be big and like Orwell's world war in 1984 it will be static with the frontlines barely moving, but with the banks and weapons makers making a frigging killing. Why is Syria such a problem or security risk for the world? They are an ocean away from the US!! Sunni, Shia, Alawite, who cares, screw them all. They want a civil war let them have it!!!!!!!

Also, Bulgaria has a border with Turkey, which is another Muslim country. Bulgaria itself is Christian and noted for its absence of anti-semitism.

The Israelis don't have to give everything they know about their enemies, just whose to blame and that they will pay. If the police know who a killer is on the street do they give the media all their evidence?

            boom, if you know there is a chance your people will be targeted wouldnt you issue a warning? the us does all the time. to accuse anyone the moment it happens means either you dont care about your people or you have proof. if you have evidence something is going to happen and say nothing, you fail as a leader.

            it could be an iranian without approval from his government, if that is the case do you punish an entire country? or is israel just making its case for war? there is a lot going on here we dont know.

            how many times has the wrong group been blamed? if they have proof they dont want to make public, then fine go for it, all i am saying is they need to be sure first or they will look like the fool

            It is more than likely another in a long list of false flag attacks by Israel. What are a few tourists, when Israel can blame Iran to get sympathy.

            I have sympathy for the injured and dead, but none for Israel. Israel has killed and maimed far more Muslims than Muslims have hurt Israelis. The Israelis are attempting to expand their dreams of a greater Israel, by playing the victim and starting wars.

Iran has promised to do this and if I were Israel I'd start doing the same things to them. Iran is such an incompetent land that while they have huge oil reserves they're simply too dumb to refine enough gasoline for their minimal domestic use as they have only one refinery.

It is not so difficult to identify the sources of the material and the money used for this purpose. It is nor necessary to lie about it.

Israel and the US want war, because they will take out the last power that wants to scrap the petrodollar and go to a basket of currencies to purchase oil and natural gas. Iraq, Libya, and Syria want(ed) the same thing and look what happened to them. The CIA staged the Libyan Revolution and more than likely is behind the Syrian debacle going on now.

                Bulgaria is NOT a Muslim country. There are some other reports that the bus was on fire before the explosion was heard.

                Apparently 7.8 % Muslim makes a nation a dangerous place to travel in. Look at statistics-wherever Muslims get a bloc majority even in a small area, (Nigeria, Philippines, Thailand ,ad infinitum) they are attacking or pushing in an imperialist manner everyone around them.

I mean besides your sickening religious beliefs. Amazing that despite the idiocy of Christianity and Judaism that Islam is so horrifying it makes them seem tame.

                          Again, how do you know it was Iran? Oh yeah, the well paid corporate stooges on the idiot box implied it was Iran and has implied it was Iran all the time for the past decade or so, whether it was or not. The same idiots that said Iraq had WMD, and the same idiots that told you Assad's bad guys committed two heinous slaughters, when a bit later it was found to be the rebels, who happen to be the same Wahabbi crazies that carried out 9/11. Most corporations that own all the major networks anymore are also neck deep in the defense industry. GE owns NBC right? Well GE is big into defense contracting, and boy a big war in the ME will ensure them mega billions in profits now won't it? Do a bit of research on Iran and its defense spending and what it actually has in military hardware. If it wasn't for all those mountains, Israel could kick their ass probably just conventionally. The best tanks that Iran has are 100 tanks that are said to be the equivalent of our old M-60 main battle tank, which the M1 replaced. I would take a Merkava over a M60 anyday in a one on one fight. Shoot the odds could be 5-6 to 1 and the Merkava would still have my money on it.

                            Hey Big Al,

                            Statism has a bigger bodycount than any Islamic nation has inflicted on anyone. The US isn't a Christian nation anymore, it is a statist nation that uses the Boble as a theatrical prop anymore, trying in vain to feign some moral legitimacy in what it does. Communism(purest form of statism) killed over 100 million alone. Nazi Germany 20 million+, and the US with probably around 10 million+. Iran has been at war only twice in the past 100 years. We seem to be bombing someone somewhere continuously fo the past 30.

                              islam's filthy month of ramadan begins on July 20th. Hundreds of thousands of moozlamic scum will begin massing in their two filthy cities..mecca & medina.

                              Tip to Benjamin Netanyahu...

                              Land 3 nukes on each city and then finish them off with a neutron bomb on each one. Next, do the same to tehran, less the neutron bomb. Finally, get the bulldozers out and turn that filthy, golden-domed mosque in Jerusalem into a pile of rubble.

                              obama will do nothing but cry and pray to his moon god allahoo. The UN, Russia, China, Saudi Arabia, Syria, and Turkey will do nothing in retalliation. Pakistan may threaten and bluster.

                              All the moozlamic fanatics will try to storm Israel, but they will be slain and driven back.

                              Romney would be wise to stand up like a man and side with Israel against the moozlamic scourge.

                              Israel will not be defeated. Biblical prophacies have all been coming to pass in their own good time.

Israel could have pounded them, but held back because they did not want to hurt those who were innocent. Hezballah insigated, and got their butts pounded. Israel lost troops because they held back. Where was their leader Nesrallah..hiding like a little girl. Tough talker but a wimp, like shortly from Iran.

                              Yeah John - The Israelis use F16s and Apache helicopters to drop bombs and blow up Palestinianomen and children. Do you think that if a plane is used to drop a bomb, its more humane or not a terrorist act.

                              The Israelis started the teroor campaign in the 1940s, with the Irgun and other Jewish terror groups, when they started the theft of Arab lands.

                              When Israeli troops tried to fight Hezbollah on the ground, they got their asses handed to them. The Israeli troops were not holding back, they just didn't measure up to the Lebanese fighting man. The story that the Israeli Defense Force is a formidable fighting force is a myth.

                              The Israelis only know how to use American made planes to kill.The Mossad uses assasination, where the victim has no chance. Without America backing them up, the Israelis would be history, yet Israel has seen fit to attack America on 9/11, backed by Zionists in our own government.

                              Like someone wrote above, payback is a bitch. For the assassination of Iranian scientists, or the massacred Pelestinian children or for whatever crime they've committed against humanity, payback is here. Tough $hit.

                              Umm no payback would be getting those directly responsible for killing their scientists. Killing innocent teens and adults that have nothing to with their leaders espionage is murder sir.

                              How callous of you to just disregard the lives lost in the name of revenge. Sounds like you are happy this happened.

                              Coral Taxi. Since you've mentioned that only the people who are directly responsible for some criminal act should be punished, I have one question for you. Do you remember the Hamas attack on Israel back in 2006 I believe? Israel retaliated against Lebanon with a disproportionate amount of force, bombing them back to the Stone Age, killing women and children by using illegal weapons such as cluster bombs etc. People who had nothing to do with Hamas have suffered as a revenge. How did you feel about that then?

                              @gabe; I would say they were not targeting women and children directly. They were answering to missiles indiscriminately launched into their country by Hamas who knew the people of Lebanon would suffer from retaliation. Not the same thing at all. So I would blame Hamas more than Israel for the civilian deaths

                              Also there is no direct proof Israel used cluster bombs. So I feel Hams brought this on themselves. Much different than a surgical strike on one person, that is creating a weapon to destroy your country. Not the same at all.

                              GENEVA – The international Red Cross said Tuesday that Israel has fired white phosphorus shells in its offensive in the Gaza Strip, but has no evidence to suggest it is being used improperly or illegally.
                              .....

                              In some of the strikes in Gaza it's pretty clear that phosphorus was used," Herby told The Associated Press. "But it's not very unusual to use phosphorus to create smoke or illuminate a target. We have no evidence to suggest it's being used in any other way.

                              You see no proof. You have only oyur words I have those of Geneva.

                              Since you've mentioned that only the people who are directly responsible for some criminal act should be punished,

                              I would not call self preservation a criminal act, nor did I say anyone should be punished. I said killing people that had nothing to do with it is murder not payback.

                              And that is how I feel about that to answer your question. Get your facts straight.

                              GG, the Palestinians use their children as human shields. That is why we so read about the pitched battle in a Palestinian leader's house, where the women and children were killed, too. The question is always...what on earth were they doing there? What they were doing, of course, was being used to arouse public indigation.

                              It's not your choice who you kill - as a US Marine, you take orders, you don't set policy. If you are ordered to bomb or shell a village - you do it - no matter who gets killed.

                              That is if you really are a Marine - a real Marine would know this already.

They lambaste Israel, but neglect to mention the missiles routinely shot at Israel by Hamas // Hezbollah with no knowledge of where it will land other than Israel. But Hamas // Hezbollah really doesn't care where it lands as long as they kill Israelis with them, or at least make an attempt.

                              Think about it-2012248 I very seriously doubt "Roman" is a Marine. Granted, they don't necessarily need a degree to enlist, but the vast majority have much better language skills than "Roman". Also, most Marines I know, while very proud of being a Marine, and not being afraid to admit they are, will generally not say something like "Roman" did. They don't need to advertise their abilities in infantile ways.

                              Local media is reporting a terrorist attack. Most likely a suicide bomber got into one of the shuttles that were going to take the group from the airport, to the resort.

                                I wouldn't be surprised if this was an Iranian suicide bomber, somebody from the tourist agency or hotel had to tip off the bomber because terrorists don't usually hang around airports looking for targets.

                                EDIT: the Israeli government is now blaming the Iranians.

                                By Abbasi's definition, Iran may not sponsor terrorism, but it does not hesitate to promote suicide attacks. He announced that approximately 40,000 Iranian estesh-hadiyun (martyrdom-seekers) were ready to carry out suicide operations against "twenty-nine identified Western targets" should the U.S. military strike Iranian nuclear installations.

                                    timelessfun: Phil Greene is right. And, why were the Jews given land that did not belong to them after WWII? Why didn't they go to their original land. Why did Britain and the United States give them the land? And then we have to protect them and die for them thereafter. Bull@!$%#.

                                      slight, the Israelis won their independence in the 1948 War of Independence, no one gave it to them. The Zionists had been purchasing the land since their 19th century.

                                      slight- I can't help but laugh when people try using that as a valid argument against the state of Israel. No land has belonged to a single group since the beginning of time, you can not just draw the line at 1945 and say "no countries borders can ever change again". By your logic, all non-native Americans should return to their countries of origins, since it is not our land in the first place. Also, the first Jewish temple in Israel was built long before the Muslim religion even existed, so tell me again why you consider it their land?

                                      rojo217- laugh at yourself. "no land has belonged to a single group since the beginning of time..." isnt that the zionist argument? god signed the deed for the land on the back of the ten commandments and gave it to moses? now we re back to claim it? "jews built a temple in israel long before the muslim religion existed"? by your logic europeans and individuals throughout the world that identify themselves as jewish should mass immigrate to the site of the jewish temple because the land belonged to that group? looks like you are arguing with yourself out of both sides of your mouth.

                                      cassandra- stop it with the zionists have been purchasing the land. the modern state of israel is the creation of a UN resolution through the actions of the united states and britain. if what you say were true they would have been there holding the deeds from all the land they ve been buying since the 19th century and it would not have been necessary to displace nearly three quarters of a million arabs. if zionists believe the re establishment of israel is the fulfillment of biblical prophecy then who were they deferring to as rightful landowners when they were making all of these purchases?

                                      Israel should confine its citizens into its own borders. It wants war and the USA will meekly follow them into yet another war. Don't count on me or anyone in my family. Get out of Palestine and these things won't happen, Israel.

                                      Phil the 1967 borders? You mean when Gaza was part of Egypt and the West Bank was part of Jordan? Israel offered it all back to them and they declined. Stupidity seems to be the foundation of your ant- Jewish bias. As far as counting on people in your family? We understand their lack of bravery and are glad for it because we know they'd be on Iran's side against America.

They can fight all they want, we do not need to. Another war regardless will destroy the United States of America. Only Halliburton, etc will come away richer again.

                                          Maybe you can get a hold of your homeboy barack hussein obama and have him say sorry to the iranians for anything those evil Jews may have done in the past. Not to mention that iran has stated many times that it wants to wipe Israel of the map. I guess that would be ok with you and your idol in the white house who is not fond of Israel to begin with.

                                          To those who say that proof is needed prior to a military response, where was the proof against IRAQ related to 9/11. Despite the fact that 9 of the 11 terrorists were from Saudi Arabia, we somehow decided that Iraq and Afghanistan were responsible as we got involved in two wars that lasted over 10 years.

                                          If the USA was attacked tomorrow and Obama didn't respond militarily against someone in 48 hours the right would be calling him weak and un-American.

                                              Rick - Do not forget that Mustafa Barack Hussein Obama has given over 400 million to Hamas and has requested another 621 million in aid to Hamas. BHO is also (this would be illegal in the US) helping Mosques to repair their plumbing and install in entire computer networks.

                                              As for BHO and Iran - BHO is actually Iran's best friend. You can be sure, under BHO than Iran will get the bomb. Each any every action BHO has taken against Iran is because his hand was forced. Even now, BHO continues to stall on any and every action that involves Iran. BHO wants Israel to have to do the dirty work. That way BHO and the world can then come down on Israel while at the same time BHO can continue appeasing his buddies (the Muslim world).

                                              From another point of view one could say BHO has been Iran's best friend since Jimmy (hide-in-the-Rose-Garden) Carter.

                                              1. Remember Iran's Green Revolution? You know the precursor to today's Arab Spring. BHO said and did absolutely nothing when the people or Iran were up fighting their government. BHO finally did pay lip service to it after the other leaders of the free world criticized him for leading from behind.

                                              2. Remember BHO saying "that he is not convinced Iran is after the nuclear bomb." Just after BHO came into office.

                                              3. Remember BHO's reaction to Iran sending M-300 Grad missiles to Hezbollah? - nada, zip, ... just more lip service.

                                              4. Remember the Iraqi War that we won and BHO "inherited". FYI - Under BHO Iran is now the winner in Iraq. In short, BHO allowed Iran to become the dominate foreign political power in Iraq by doing nothing. Iran can bring down Iraq's government any time it wants to.

                                              5. Remember the new SOFA agreement BHO failed to get signed after 3 years in office? Remember BHO wanting to leave 3,000 sitting targets in Iraq? By his failure (and Hillary as Sec of State) the 4,500 who lost their lives were for nothing.

                                              5. Remember BHO sanctions against Iran, the weakest set of sanctions yet and he took 16 months of dithering before BHO finally got them in place. FYI - Everyone knows it takes years for sanctions (sometimes decades) to work, if ever.

                                              6. Remember Iran just two months ago trying to blow up Saudi, Israeli in America? BHO said this was unacceptable. Only to completely back of on all actions, even sanctions for this. Then BHO said he would have to check with the internatioanl community. Finally, BHO said he would not take any action since it might hurt the world's recovering economy.

                                              7. Remember Afghanistan? Under BHO, Afghanistan will fall the very same way Vietnam did. The winners Pakistan and you got it! - Iran.

                                              8. BHO, just two months ago BHO also had a known Terrorist, paid by Iran, and a leader in the Kobar Towers bombing at the White House. The BHO Admin claims they did not know it. B.S. - No one gets to see the president without the Secrety Service at least checking a visitors back ground out.

                                              9. Heck! Recently, Ayatollah Khamenei, Iran's Supreme Leader, Hailed BHO's Comments As 'Window Of Opportunity'

                                              10. Under BHO's policy toward Iran, which will be his "greatest failing, from a foreign policy standpoint. Surpassing his helping all those countries he helped "free" in North Africa to become extremist states.

                                              11. The EU, with BHO leading from behind, recently threw some real sanctions against Iran. What does BHO do, BHO authorizes exceptions to 10 countries. Under mining the full strength of the new sanctions.

                                              12. BHO, seeing the EU is getting even more serious, stalls "new" sanctions by suggesting Iran be allowed to Enrichment nuclear materials to 5%. Iran is not going to agree to monitoring but, you sure can be Iran will use it to stall again. BHO's own tactics to stall EU sanctions have now been going on for three months now. Only in this case, neither side has even decided what to discuss, this is stalling BHO style!

                                              13. BHO, at the end of June 2012, exempted 20 countries buying oil from Iran. These countries can buy oil from Iran, in turn helping Iran and weakening the sanctions.

                                              14. In July 2012, we find out the US is probing shipment of high-tech gear to Iran (and N. Korea) by the U.N. agency WIPO. OBama's response: “We’re working with both the Director General and other member-states to institute reforms in the UN. Bottom line ... Iran has the computers, Obama does nothing about it (again).

                                              15. Because of the way America pulled out of Iraq, Iran is now sending arms to Syria both over land and via using Iraqi Air space. to fly equipment into Syria.

                                              16. Turkey, to get around the harsh EU sanctions, sent 60 tons of Gold to Iran, in return for oil. BHO's reaction - Nada, zip, zilch!

                                                If this is an Iranian sponsored terrorist event, then the leadership in Tehran gets the prize for stupidity. Israel has its finger on the trigger already with the US rapidly expanding its military presence in the region over the past few weeks to clobber the Persians if they try to curtail the oil flow or worse.The Iranian government may as well start painting bullseyes on nuclear and military facilities now.

                                                Israel's response will probably be a nuclear response to their nuke program by October.

                                                If this is Iran, they can kiss their a** goodbye. It's time to take these towelheads out once and for all. Hezballah, Hamas, all of em. That religion is sick, twisted and needs to be wiped out.
